Mohammad Asif to Cook, OUT, you won't need a referral for that! Asif digs in a short one to take Cook somewhat by surprise. He was actually done in by the lack of pace on the bouncer there, getting through the shot too quickly as the ball hit the back of the bat/glove and ballooned gently to second slip. Cook's struggle comes to an end
**AN Cook c Umar Akmal b Mohammad Asif 17 (35b 3x4 0x6) SR: 48.57
Mohammad Amir to Strauss, OUT, we’re going to have a review here. Amir swung one back in sharply, there were two sounds as the ball snuck through bat and pad and Zulqarnain held on to the take behind the stumps. Steve Davis didn’t think that was out, but Pakistan were convinced… And they’re right! Big inside edge onto the pad, Strauss goes!
**AJ Strauss c †Zulqarnain Haider b Mohammad Amir 25 (40b 2x4 0x6) SR: 62.50
44/2
can we get the remaining wickets for the next 20 runs.

Mohammad Asif to Trott, no run, first slip drops a sitter! That was a gentle, regulation chance. Thick edge, it went to Farhat at the perfect catching height and wasn’t travelling too quickly either. “An absolute dolly,” says Bumble, and that’s what it was! Inexplicable, and no reward for Asif’s wonderful bowling
Now they mention it. 15.5

Cricinfo: What frustration for Pakistan's bowlers! No back-up for them, either with the bat or in the field. It must be very demoralising
with 52/3, Pakistan would have looked for 2/3 more quick wickets ... @#$@#$@#$@# damad sala...
